It wasn’t pretty but the New Orleans Pelicans bounced back with a 2-1 week after Mardi Gras. In truth they left a win on the table as they had one in hand against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night before Kawhi Leonard took Jrue Holiday’s lunch money. Despite an awful start out of the All-Star Break (three straight losses and DeMarcus Cousins earning a suspension) the Pels find themselves 3.5 games out of the 8th spot in the Western Conference. To drop just one game farther back with the schedule they had is somewhat of an accomplishment.
